Blog post by Karen du Toit.

This is real....

First time in my fifteen years in the SABC Radio Archives I have find a brittle reel to reel tape.  Our guess is that it has been lying in the sun for some time.  Fortunately it is not from or for our collection.  This will not happen to our reel to reel tapes, since it is stored in a climate-controlled space, with fire-protection and all necessary measurements in place.
